In the spirit of ensuring a totally lifeless horse, the key thing is
the distance scale on your charts. If the distance scale is in
statute miles, i.e., 5280 feet - then you are an inland boater. I
suspect your charts are otherwise and so also should your boat reports
except for the dinkiest lake craft.


So you're saying it's OK, in your book, to use MPH on an inland lake? Does
Lake Washington count?

People that are not necessarily boaters are the hydro spectators. Whether
they are unlimiteds or crackerbox boats. They run in circles. All people
understand MPH, but most do not understand Knots is reference to speed.

No, it's too close to salt water and anyone who lives near there
should know better.
